PHILADELPHIA, PA, UNITED STATES, November 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- KickUp, an educator development platform for K-12 districts, today announced a partnership with The Danielson Group to integrate the Framework for Teaching directly into KickUp's platform.— Jeremy Rogoff, CEO/Co-Founder of KickUp
The Framework for Teaching is used by districts across the globe/world to define effective teaching and guide educator development. With this partnership, districts using KickUp can access Framework-aligned rubrics, tools and dashboards that connect evaluations, coaching conversations, classroom observations, and professional development to the specific domains and components teachers are working to strengthen.
"Districts tell us they want flexibility to use the frameworks that matter to them—whether that's Danielson, T-TESS, or their own custom approach. This partnership ensures that the thousands of districts already using the Framework for Teaching can bring it into a modern platform that works the way instructional leaders work – without rigidity."
-Jeremy Rogoff - CEO/Co-Founder, KickUp

Our partnership with KickUp brings that vision to life by empowering districts to connect feedback and learning in ways that elevate both teaching and leadership.”
